中文(ZH) 人造“叶片”模拟光合作用高效制甲醇

Artificial leaf achieves record methanol production; physics-informed AI speeds material discovery

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Scientists have developed a new artificial "leaf" that mimics photosynthesis with unprecedented efficiency, converting sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide directly into methanol. This new device achieves a methanol yield 32 times higher than previous artificial leaf technologies. Separately, researchers created a physics-informed neural network that significantly reduces the training time for discovering new materials, potentially accelerating advancements in fields like quantum computing. AI

IMPACT AI-driven material discovery promises to accelerate R&D cycles for advanced technologies like quantum computing.

    Artificial "leaves" simulate photosynthesis to efficiently produce methanol

    美国耶鲁大学科学家领衔的团队研制出一款新型人造“叶片”，能以创纪录效率模拟光合作用，将阳光、水和二氧化碳直接合成液体燃料甲醇。甲醇产率是此前制醇的人造“叶片”的32倍。相关论文发表于新一期《美国化学学会杂志》。（科技日报）
